Nischal Shetty is the founder of WazirX, India’s largest crypto exchange, and co-founder of Shardeum, a scalable layer-1 blockchain. WazirX was hit by a cyberattack linked to North Korea’s Lazarus Group. The exchange lost a large amount of crypto, and many users were unable to access their funds. The platform is now being restructured under the High Court of Singapore. WazirX says this will help users get back their assets. meanwhile, Shardeum, Shetty’s latest venture, aims to provide low-cost, decentralised blockchain solutions and continues to develop technology to make blockchain more accessible and scalable for users worldwide.
